SHADE OF THE PAST performed by: Debbie Gibson written by: Deborah Gibson Ah-ah.. (Oh..) Ba ba da ba ba ba ba (Ah..) OooOooo.. Do do do do do do do do do do do Do Verse 1: Red as the roses come My love it never was dark as the evening sky We let love pass us by I was caught in the middle somewhere in the gray Now it's time to leave that all behind my uncertain yesterdays Chorus: Now it's black or white Now it's wrong or right I can't live without you here Shades of the past are long gone I've got one thing on my mind... There's a choice to make There'll be no mistake The time has come around I'm leaving no middle ground ...let my heart be the only sound Verse 2: Pink is not red or white but you brought me pink roses tonight and I got to thinking to myself oh the time is right A promise is stronger than a whisper So I say "goodbye" to our yesterdays and leave behind those shades of gray CHORUS Oh, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do dooo D do do do do do do do dooo Do do do do do do do do (Aaah..) [do do do] do do do do do do do do (Aaah..) [do do do, do do] (Aaah..) do do do do do Aaaah.. CHORUS x 2 ...let my heart be the only, only sound (black or white, wrong or right) Do do do do do do do do do do uh do do do do do do do do Do do do do do Oh there's a choice to make There'll be no mistake The time has come around I'm leaving no middle ground ...let my heart be the only (only) sound Ba ba da ba ba ba baa Do do do do do do do do do do do doooooooo
